"Love it will stay again"

Spacious Home Near Lake Michigan with Peaceful Backyard

10/10 Excellent

"This house was a great spot for an extended family to stay while attending a wedding close by. Such a peaceful spot that had everything we needed. We enjoyed our coffee on the back patio each morning. The landscaping is gorgeous and obviously professionally designed and maintained. The host was kind enough to offer early check-in. He also had a very nice steamer delivered and waiting for us when we arrived.Also, the furnishings and fixtures here are SUPER nice. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets to go around. Definitely one of the most impressive short term rentals I’ve ever seen."
